Hi Mark, Thanks for your advice. I'd really like to do that as I know that will simplify things, unfortunately the scrolling nature of the background behind the 3 UI widgets is integral to the design (a port of an iPhone app, that had the same challenge as it turns out).
Looks like for now I'll have to go one of two routes... 1. Extend ListView to implement background scrolling and use addHeader/FooterView(). 2. Extend LinearLayout to work with a ListAdapter (as this UI strategy is used in several Activities) Many thanks again, Richard On 19 Oct 2010, at 19:11, Mark Murphy wrote: > On Tue, Oct 19, 2010 at 11:00 AM, Richard Leggett > <[email protected]> wrote: >> I'm keen to see if anyone has a better solution to this problem? > > Get rid of the background.
